Set a short way from the highway this is a lovely and peaceful location. The pool which we had to ourselves for a couple of hours was very welcome after a two hour drive on a day of 39 degrees. The receptionist while friendly and welcoming was quite pushy about sending us to an ostrich farm. Our room was large and comfy but I agree with a previous review about meagre toiletry supplies which were not great quality. Also it’s a shame there was no fridge to keep water or drinks cool. The honesty bar was ok but no atmosphere had you wanted to relax inside and the pool bar looks long abandoned. Dinner choice was fine with good friendly service and plentiful food. The table doesn’t benefit from the plastic flower arrangements especially as at breakfast a few simple fresh blooms looked so much classier. Breakfast consisted of a small buffet and freshly cooked items s from the kitchen.

What a fabulous place! Altes Landhaus is a wonderful, traditionally furnished country lodge in a peaceful location and ideally situated for a visit to the Cango Caves and several ostrich farms, one of which we visited. That said it was difficult to tear ourselves away from the tranquility of the garden and outdoor pool. Marcus and his team could not have been friendlier and made every effort to ensure all our needs were met. We enjoyed wonderful food for both breakfast and dinners. We would highly recommend this gem of a place.

A lovely guesthouse in a beautiful setting. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Supper was delicious and the breakfast too. I'd definitely recommend Altes Landhaus

The Altes Landhaus breathes authenticity and history. The rooms are very large and super comfortable, classy and offer all you could need. The veranda on which breakfast and dinner is served is cozy and the swimming pool just perfect to cool down and swim a few laps. Birds everywhere and location just perfect. Lots to do in the area from Meerkats viewing to the Cango Caves and Ostrich farms. Definitely will return one day!

Very relaxing hotel. Large comfortable room, spotlessly clean and well appointed. Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. Good food, especially breakfast. Would thoroughly recommend. Enjoyed the Meerkat Safari at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge in spite of the early start.

What a superb stay we had unfortunately we only stayed 2 nights would have loved to extend but not possible this trip. From the host to the honesty bar, the pool to the restaurant, it was all first class. Marcris and Esther were lovely. Couldn’t recommend this lodge more - absolutely perfect
